From Wikipedia:

The Belmont-Paul Women's Equality National Monument (formerly Sewall House (1800-1929), Alva Belmont House (1929-1972), and the Sewall-Belmont House and Museum (1972-2016)) is a historic house and museum of the U.S. women's suffrage and equal rights movements located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, D.C., in the United States.

Since 1929, it has served as headquarters of the National Woman's Party, a key political organization in the fight for women's suffrage. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, designated a National Historic Landmark in 1974. From 1972 to 2016, the Sewall-Belmont National Historic Site was an affiliated unit of the National Park Service. In 2016, President Barack Obama designated it a National Monument, affording it more protection, visibility, and likely more funding.

CODE documentary examines the reasons why more girls and people of color are not seeking opportunities in computer science.

We'll start the night at 6 pm with a screening of the acclaimed documentary CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap, which exposes the dearth of American female and minority software engineers and explores the reasons for the gap. CODE raises the question: what would society gain from having more women and minorities code?

Then we'll discuss with CODE's own director Robin Hauser Reynolds, Harvard Business School Professor Robin Ely, Harvard Kennedy School Professor Robert Livingston, and you of course! Then at 9, we'll continue the conversation over drinks and snacks at our post-panel reception.
